“You don't raise heroes, you raise sons. And if you treat them like sons, they'll turn out to be heroes, even if it's just in your own eyes.”
Walter M. Schirra Sr.
“The world needs heroes and it's better they be harmless men like me than villains like Hitler.”
Albert Einstein

Frank Miller
“The Americans are certainly hero-worshippers, and always take their heroes from the criminal classes.”
Oscar Wilde
“Great heroes need great sorrows and burdens, or half their greatness goes unnoticed”
Peter S. Beagle
“We're trying to raise awareness of fallen heroes. We support our president and his decision. We're proud of our military.”
William Peterson
“My son is a U.S. Marine, an Iraqi veteran, and my hero. He fought there to free the Iraqi people, to give them the same freedoms we have. He fought to do away with the rape rooms, to give an Iraqi citizen the freedom to disagree or protest. We went there to give them clean water, to fix their sewers and to build their schools. We went there to give these people a chance at a better quality of life. We need to stay there until the job is done or they ask us to leave. We are in Iraq because we need to be and because it is the right thing to do.”
David Miller
